Okay, I've cracked.

You know how I love The "Hole".......er,um the Black one......er,um, I should stop there

Check you PM for screen caps, Sketch.

Hmmm - now that you say that, I do recall Lucifer looking slightly different in other episodes. I chose that particular episode because I clearly remember his entrance as Baltar was being offered his own Basestar - I knew there might be some good full and close up shots of him there. In the other episodes, well, I'd have to watch them again to know exactly where to look for him. But I'll be breaking out my BSG DVD's for full viewing later this year, so I'll note when he's got some good screen time and do some more screen caps then. I'll PM them to you again, if you're still in a BSG kind of mood then

I noticed at work today that the Lucifer you already have does indeed have the moving eyes! I couldn't tell on my home computer because the screen resolution is so high that it masks it. But I noticed at work today and thought it looked cool. Well, good luck with your BSG mini icons and all. Looking forward to checking them all out if/when you make them available

Oh - and the "impressionism" added to your ID painting does indeed add that impressionistic touch

Can you see those stuffy types walking through the Louvre someday looking at that painting and saying "Look at the amazing way he captures the essence of a light cycle and a toy robot". Someday Sketch, someday!

btw, Sketch, your recent painting immediately reminded me of another painter by the name of Tom Wilson. You guys might remember him as the one who played Biff in Back to the Future. Anyways, he created a lot of paintings using popular culture as most of his subjects. It's pretty cool stuff. you should check it out.

Oh wow! I didn't know he painted. Cool, he's doing Pop Art. I got to meet him at Dragon Con in Atlanta back in 2003. He's super nice. *Bookmarks site* Sweet. Thanks for showing me that site.

Yeah, the way the Lightcycles are placed around the robot plays a vital part in the overall compostion of the piece. In the box they are actually held in the air via twist ties. I just didn't paint them in the image. I wanted that floaty effect to creat a fantasy or dream like look which plays an important part in conveying the Id theme. I wanted the cycles to visually create a spiral motion around the robot to keep the viewers eye interested in what is being presented. The robot is the main focal point on the picture plane and the cycles help to frame the robot and ensure a balanced compostion as well as anchor the robot as a focal point. Also another reason I choose the lightcycles was becuse of their design simplicity. I didn't want too much detail to have to deal with, and their color was perfect to do in paint. That's just half of the conept and thought behind my Id painting.

Hey - that's some interesting and well thought-out updating Sketch.

You know - I originally just clicked on the image link, without reading much first - I just saw "LuciferRedesign.gif” and then clicked.

I really, REALLY dislike the "new" show bearing the same name as BSG. I'm irritated that they've gone forward and made new episodes. I've even been trying really hard not to respond to the other BSG thread currently active here. I just want that thread to fade away, just like I with that "new" show would fade away.

Ok, everyone gets it, I'm sure. I do NOT like the "new" show, period.

Having said that, I actually thought your sketchwork of Lucifer's redesign was a link to the Lucifer to be shown in the "new" show. My first impression was "Damnit - do they have to change EVERYTHING?" followed quickly by "You know - that really is cool looking and does employ many characteristics of the original Lucifer..." Then I found myself thinking "Ok, I'll give them that - this looks pretty cool and could actually work well in an updated version of the show..." But of course, their "new" show is anything BUT an updated version... it is more like a sad attempt at taking some classic ideas and falling short of having anything good to do with them, so they came up with something that was supposed to be "cool" and "trendier" than the original show... and they did so by throwing away what really gave the REAL BSG it's heart and soul, not to mention attempting to "re-invent" what was once a GREAT show (and failing miserably). So the special FX are better. So what. Pretty visuals alone cannot make a show good.

Damn - I'm having trouble containing my thoughts on the "new" show. I'd better stop before this thread turns in to another "new" show thread. And a quick note to anyone who actually likes the "new" show: I mean no disrespect to any fans of the "new" show. If you dig it, good for you. Enjoy it, and I don't say that sarcastically. Everyone has their own tastes and opinions and is allowed to them. I just personally really dislike that it exists, period.

Ok, now that I've gotten WAAAAAAY off the subject of what I set out to comment on, let me say that I really like your updated Lucifer, Sketch. After checking it out, then backtracking and reading your post, I liked it even more.

You see - if they did a more modern version of BSG, one that was basically just that - a more modern telling of the classic BSG story, I think your updated Lucifer would be a really cool character update. I love that you've incorporated characteristic elements of the original Lucifer, and even thought out what kind of role this character might play in terms of how he might interact and even integrate directly with a basestar.

I'm sorry I got a little OT and ranted a bit, but the point I originally started to make with that was that if your sketch were part of the "new" show - as much as I'm irritated that such a thing even exists, I'd have to say that at least the new Lucifer still looks cool and has a great design! I hope that made some sense.

I really can't wait to check out your refined version of this. But PLEASE don't let the people who are working on the "new" show get their hands on it! I'd hate to think that there was anything really cool about that show he he he. Actually, I'm sure their show already has a Lucifer, but he's probably a chick now too, and just looks like a regular humanoid... but one that looks really hot, has personal issues that audience doesn’t care about, and wears trendy cloths

Please keep us updated with this one - looking really cool so far!

Sketch Wrote:Sorry if you thought it was related to the new show...

Nooooooo

I only thought that momentarily and even so, I still thought it looked cool. I think I did too much ranting in that last post and confused it all up.

The skinny - I think you're updated Lucifer is GREAT! He looks really cool and I LOVE that you've thought out his role in the scheme of things and incorporated that in to his design and functionality.

Like I said - I am really looking forward to your completed updated Lucifer!

The self-portrait looks good. You look all serious there - either upset or just moody... or sleeping?

You did the lighting and shadows well.

Are those other images around the main image part of the painting or other small paintings clipped on? Interesting layout of composition with those.
